Lorraine's text message with a slightly teasing tone probably made the person on the other end of the phone stunned for a while, and did not reply for a long time. So Lorraine didn't take it seriously, put the phone back into his pocket, and quickly forgot about it.
At this time, Jiang Yan's call came.
Lorraine chuckled and picked up the phone: "Hey, Sister Yan, you are busy with everything, do you still have time to call me?"
This is a moderate joke. Jiang Yan is very busy these days with the cases of Qian Wanwan and Qian Hu. All the news media and information websites in Zhengzhou City are rushing to report on these things. However, Fortunately, the superiors paid more attention to the impact of this time, so they quickly minimized the negative impact. In contrast, many staff in the job were still sweating hard as New Year's Eve approached.
Since yesterday, the news about the Qian family and his son has finally subsided. The city bureau has also given the officers of the Criminal Police Brigade who are working on the front line these days a week-long holiday, including the New Year days.
No, Jiang Yan finally took the time to call Lorraine. She was extremely busy before. Every time Lorraine called her, the other party was either on the phone or temporarily unavailable. Later, she simply stopped disturbing her and finally waited until Sister Yan took the initiative to call her.
Jiang Yan's voice was mixed with a hint of exhaustion, but she said with a smile: "You brat, your sister is almost exhausted, and you are still in the mood to make sarcastic remarks to me."
Lorraine smiled sarcastically: "Haha, Sister Yan. Have you just taken a break from your hard work? How about I treat you to a meal, then take a bath in the sauna and relax with a massage? Well... Just go to the Zhoujiang Club Bar!"
"Go to hell!..." How could Jiang Yan not know the meaning of Lorraine's words, "I know what you mean. Your Luo Group has successfully acquired Caesars Palace and renamed it Zhoujiang Club, so be proud of it! Hum, You want me to give you a massage? What? Is this current Zhoujiang Club going to go the way of Caesar’s Palace? Let’s see if I don’t catch you first!”
"No kidding." Lorraine changed her mind and said, "I really haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm so worried that I'll treat you to a meal."
Jiang Yan thought for a while, yawned, and replied: "No, I'm really tired from all the hard work these days. My parents have prepared a meal waiting for me to go back to eat. After eating, I will stay at home for the whole day. Just be a home girl. I’ll call you again in two days after I’ve rested my nerves.”
"Haha, in two days? Isn't it New Year's Eve? Sister Yan, do you want to have a late-night tryst with me and have a romantic relationship until next year?"
"That's not right!" Jiang Yan scolded her, then hung up the phone, "That's it, sister, I'll call you in two days."
After saying that, there was a bang and the phone was hung up.
Lorraine opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard the busy tone on the phone receiver and shrugged helplessly. Originally, he wanted to tell Jiang Yan about her father Jiang Songyue's appointment with him at the teahouse two days ago. But now that Jiang Yan has hung up, he doesn't have to worry about it. Forget it, it’s okay not to say it, it’s not something worth mentioning. If Jiang Songyue wants to tell Sister Yan, just tell her, and I won’t say anything.
After intercepting a taxi, Lorraine wanted to go home and rest, but she suddenly thought of it and went all the way to Brothers Internet Cafe.
When I entered the Internet cafe, I saw a bustling scene. Even though the Spring Festival was approaching, the business was still booming. Students around the age of seventeen or eighteen were sitting on every machine.
I looked towards the bar and found that Liu Wanchuan was the only one sitting there.
"Brother Lin, are you here?" Liu Wanchuan wore a dark black velvet jacket today. He was also a lot taller. Due to some things in Internet cafes and bars, he was worried a lot. There are more people and more activities, so the body gradually becomes taller and stronger. It no longer feels as thin as before. It exudes a stable temperament that is far beyond its peers. If no one says it, I am afraid everyone will. There is no way to connect him with his identity as a high school student.
"Well, why are you alone today? Where are Liangzi and the others?" Lorraine smiled, casually pulled up a bench, sat at the bar and talked face to face with Liu Wanchuan.
"It's time to celebrate the New Year. We always have to visit friends at home, but they were all called away by their parents." Liu Wanchuan respected Lorraine in his heart. He spoke very seriously and never joked. Regarding this, Lorraine often talked about him, but he once replied to Lorraine, which moved Lorraine: All the other brothers are joking with you, but I can't, because at least one person needs to maintain a serious attitude at all times. Otherwise a group will appear loose.
Lorraine didn't quite agree with Liu Wanchuan's general introduction, but he admired it very much. He knew that Liu Wanchuan was a talent who could do great things. Although Lin Jiadong was a person, he had a bit of a ruffian in his heart. This, Far inferior to Liu Wanchuan. In fact, if the matter really came to pass, even Lorraine would feel inferior to Liu Wanchuan at times.
Having such a good brother like Liu Wanchuan is really a great blessing for Lorraine after her rebirth.
"Well, Liangzi and the others all know that you should have a holiday when you go home to visit relatives. Since the winter vacation, I haven't seen you take a day off. You are now in your second year of high school, which is the perfect time to have fun. It's so early. Like a little grown-up, very tired." Lorraine said earnestly.
"Why are you tired? I just need to be more careful. Besides, Brother Lin, aren't you busy all day long? I am taking you as an example. I will always remember what you said, Brother Lin - Make a fool of yourself, at least you can't embarrass yourself. I feel that you are only young once. Learn something early now, so that you can avoid detours in the future, and you can also lay a good foundation. It is better than having fun, eating, drinking, and wasting the past. "
Hearing this, Lorraine nodded deeply. Liu Wanchuan had a very high level of understanding. These words, without Lorraine having to say them more, could make him enlightened just by being casual.
After a pause, Lorraine asked: "It's almost New Year's Eve, so you should take a rest. No matter how busy I am, I still know how to balance work and rest. At least, visiting relatives and friends during the New Year's Eve is It’s a rule for us Chinese people. If your family asks you to visit relatives and friends, don’t worry about things here. Go away anytime and give me a call. I’ll just hire a part-time worker to pay you a high salary for a few days. ."
"Haha..." At this time, Liu Wanchuan suddenly smiled and reached out to touch his nose, "Actually, Brother Lin, I'll tell you the truth. I really don't need to visit relatives and friends. My home is not in the city, Dad. My mother was working out of town, and there was a third uncle in the city who was a cleaner, and I usually stayed at his house. My third uncle didn’t take a break until New Year’s Eve, and my parents should have gone home at that time, so I It will take two days before I can go back. My home is in the countryside, about dozens of miles away from the city of Zhengzhou. It will take me a while to get back, so I will take advantage of these few days to make arrangements for the Internet cafe and bar. That way you can rest assured.”
Lorraine suddenly realized.
I really can't tell that this Xiaochuan is actually a country boy. Although the brothers are relatively close to each other on weekdays, they are young and rarely ask about each other's family affairs. To be honest, when he first met Liu Wanchuan, Lorraine didn't realize that he was a countryman. This was a bit different from the image of a simple and honest farmer in his impression. Later, Xiaochuan had extraordinary savvy and was quite good at dealing with people. Coupled with Liu Wanchuan's mature and steady appearance now, he was really completely evolved, without any trace of the peasant boy's temperament.
"Haha, Xiaochuan, when you go back this time, can you tell your parents to let them rest at home? After all, you have made money now, and there is no need to let your uncles and aunts work in other places." Luo Lin smiled and patted Liu Wanchuan's shoulder, his eyes as usual, without any look of disdain, which moved Liu Wanchuan in his heart.
I remember that when he first came to the city to study, every time he mentioned his identity as a peasant family, he would always get disdainful looks, although some people still smiled and said some kind words. , but the clever Liu Wanchuan could see clearly. From then on, Liu Wanchuan kept the secret that he was from a peasant family in his heart, maybe out of inferiority complex, but before he really achieved something, he didn't want to receive so many strange looks from others. of.
In fact, this is how society is. If you find it difficult to talk about your identity as a farmer, this does not mean that you are a vain person. It's because most people look at people through colored glasses. If you live in a circle of friends or classmates from wealthy families, then most of them have been influenced by their families since childhood and only make friends with people from well-off families, while you, a poor alternative, can only be ostracized everywhere. Therefore, it is better not to be so honest, and it is not too late to be honest after you have the interpersonal relationship and strength.
There is no way, human beings are social animals, and only by being more cunning can we get along in the dark life with ease. When you succeed, no one will care about your background. The poorer your background, the more they respect and think highly of you. But they never thought that they would never take the initiative to be friends with a stupid young man from a poor family.
Lorraine once said: Not everyone can keep a low profile. To be truly low-key is that you have the capital to be high-profile at any time. If you don't have the ability to be high-profile, then your low-profile will be called a loser or you have no future.
Since the last Qian Hu incident, Liu Wanchuan knew that Brother Lin was the Young Master Luo of Luo Group in Zhengzhou City, and he admired him even more. Because, in him, there is no pretense of a super rich second generation at all, but he takes great care of his brothers. No matter you are rich or poor, as long as you identify who you are, you will treat him sincerely.
Now when Lorraine knew that Liu Wanchuan was from a peasant family, he didn't have any unnatural reaction at all. This made Liu Wanchuan feel warm in his heart. He paused and said seriously: "Brother Lin, I am a brother to you because I have lived so long. The luckiest thing ever.”
Liu Wanchuan suddenly became so emotional, but Lorraine laughed, went up and punched Liu Wanchuan lightly on the chest: "You brat, don't do this to me. How old are you? You just made this emotion. There will be dozens more in the future." The year is about to go! I usually look like a man, why do you suddenly act like a girl?"
